This is a partial list of information Threads is recording on users...

• Location: Approximate location and precise location
• Personal Info: Name, email, user IDs, address, phone number, political or religious beliefs, sexual orientation and other info
• Financial: User payment info, purchase history, credit score and other financial info
• Health and Fitness information
• Messages: Emails, SMS or MMS, other in-app messages
• Photos and Videos
• Audio: Voice or sound recordings, music files and other audio files
• Files and documents, calendar events, contacts, web browsing history and devices.
• App activity: App interactions, in-app search history, installed apps, other user-generated content and other actions
• App info and performance: Crash logs, diagnostics and other app performance data

Twitter, in comparison, does not ask users to fork over health and fitness data, financial information, sensitive information and "other info."
